GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

ActionForex

GBP/USD's up trend resumed last week by breaking through 1.3265. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 61.8% projection of 1.2664 to 1.3265 from 1.3000 at 1.3371. Firm break there will pave the way to 100% projection at 1.3601 next. On the downside, below 1.3219 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first. But outlook will stay bullish as long as 1.3000 support holds.

In the bigger picture, up trend from 1.0351 (2022 low) is in progress. Next target is 38.2% projection of 1.0351 to 1.3141 from 1.2298 at 1.3364. Decisive break there will target 61.8% projection at 1.4022. For now, outlook will stay bullish as long as 1.2892 resistance turned support holds, even in case of deep pullback.

In the long term picture, as long as 1.2298 support holds, rise from 1.0351 long term bottom is expected to continue. The strong break of 55 M EMA (now at 1.2811) is a sign of bullish trend reversal. Yet, break of 1.4248 structural resistance is needed confirm. Otherwise, price actions from 1.0351 could just be part of a consolidation pattern.

USD/CHF Weekly Outlook

USD/CHF stayed in range of 0.8374/8548 last week and outlook is unchanged. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, break of 0.8374 will resume the fall from 0.9223 to retest 0.8332 low. Decisive break there will indicate larger down trend resumption. However, considering bullish convergence condition in 4H MACD, break of 0.8548 resistance will confirm short term bottoming, and turn bias back to the upside for 0.8747 resistance.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 0.8332 (2023 low) are currently seen as a medium term corrective pattern, with fall from 0.9223 as the second leg. Strong support could be seen from 0.8332 to bring rebound. Yet, overall outlook will continue to stay bearish as long as 0.9243 resistance holds. Firm break of 0.8332, however, will resume larger down trend from 1.0146 (2022 high).

In the long term picture, price action from 0.7065 (2011 low ) are seen as a corrective pattern to the multi-decade down trend from 1.8305 (2000 high). Fall from 1.0342 (2016 high) is seen as the second leg. Rejection by 55 M EMA suggest that this fall is in progress. Break of 61.8% retracement of 0.7065 to 1.0342 at 0.8317 will pave the way back to 0.7065.

AUD/USD Weekly Report

AUD/USD's rally from 0.6348 resumed by breaking through 0.6823 last week. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 61.8% projection of 0.6348 to 0.6823 from 0.6621 at 0.6915 next. On the downside, below 0.6736 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first. But outlook will remain cautiously bullish as long as 0.6621 support holds, in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, overall, price actions from 0.6169 (2022 low) are seen as a medium term corrective pattern, with rise from 0.6269 as the third leg. Firm break of 6870 resistance zone will target 100% projection of 0.6269 to 0.6870 from 0.6340 at 0.6941. In case of another fall, strong support should be seen from 0.6169/6361 to bring rebound.

In the long term picture, the down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high) should have completed at 0.5506 (2020 low) already. It's unsure yet whether price actions from 0.5506 are developing into a corrective pattern, or trend reversal. But in either case, fall from 0.8006 is seen as the second leg of the pattern. Hence, in case of deeper decline, strong support should emerge above 0.5506 to bring reversal.

USD/CAD Weekly Outlook

USD/CAD edged higher to 1.3646 last week but failed to sustain above 38.2% retracement of 1.3946 to 1.3439 at 1.3633. Yet, subsequent retreat was contained at 1.3532. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, break of 1.3532 will argue that corrective recovery from 1.3439 has already completed, and bring retest of this low. Nevertheless, firm break of 1.3646 will bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3752 and above.

In the bigger picture, corrective pattern from 1.3976 (2022 high) is extending with another falling leg. While deeper decline could be seen, strong support should emerge above 1.2947 resistance turned support to bring rebound. Rise from 1.2005 (2021 low) is still in favor to resume at a later stage.

In the longer term picture, price actions from 1.4689 (2016 high) are seen as a consolidation pattern, which might have completed at 1.2005. That is, up trend from 0.9506 (2007 low) is expected to resume at a later stage. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.2947 resistance turned support holds.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook

GBP/JPY's strong rebound last week suggests that fall from 193.45 has completed at 183.70 already. Rebound from there is seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 180.00. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 193.45 resistance first. Firm break there will target 61.8% retracement of 208.09 to 180.00 at 197.35. On the downside, though, below 188.70 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 208.09 are seen as a correction to whole rally from 123.94 (2020 low). The range of consolidation should be set between 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 208.09 at 175.94 and 208.09. However, decisive break of 175.94 will argue that deeper correction is underway.

In the longer term picture, considering bearish divergence condition in W MACD, 208.09 is at least a medium term top. It's still early to conclude that the up trend from 122.75 (2016 low) has completed. But it's at least in a medium term corrective phase, with risk of correction to 55 M EMA (now at 170.18).

EUR/JPY Weekly Outlook

EUR/JPY's strong rebound last week suggests that fall from 163.86 has completed at 155.14 already. Rise from there is seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 154.40. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 163.86 resistance first. Break there will target 61.8% retracement of 175.41 to 154.40 at 167.38. On the downside, though, below 158.31 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 175.41 are seen as correction to rally from 114.42 (2020 low). The range of consolidation should have been set between 38.2% retracement of 114.42 to 175.41 at 152.11 and 175.41 high. However, decisive break of 152.11 would argue that deeper correction is underway.

In the long term picture, considering bearish divergence condition in W MACD, 175.41 is at least a medium term top. It's still early to conclude that up trend from 94.11 (2012 low) has completed. But a medium term corrective phase is in progress with risk of deeper fall back to 55 M EMA (now at 145.52).

EUR/GBP Weekly Outlook

EUR/GBP's closed below 0.8382 support last week indicates larger down trend resumption. Initial bias stays on the downside this week for 61.8% projection of 0.8624 to 0.8399 from 0.8463 at 0.8324. For now, outlook will remain bearish as long as 0.8463 resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, down trend from 0.9267 (2022 high) is resuming. Next target is 0.8201 (2022 low), but strong support should be seen there to bring rebound. Outlook will remain bearish as long as 0.8624 resistance holds even in case of strong rebound.

In the long term picture, price action from 0.9499 (2020 high) is seen as part of the long term range pattern from 0.9799 (2008 high). Range trading should continue between 0.8201 and 0.9499, until there is clear signal of imminent breakout.

EUR/AUD Weekly Outlook

EUR/AUD's extended decline last week suggests that rebound from 1.6256 has completed at 1.6629 already. Nevertheless, as a temporary low was formed at 1.6315, initial bias is neutral this week first. Risk will stay on the downside as long as 1.6629 resistance holds. Below 1.6315 will bring retest of 1.6256. Firm break there will resume whole decline from 1.7180 and target 61.8% projection of 1.7180 to 1.6256 from 1.6629 at 1.6058.

In the bigger picture, outlook is mixed up by the deeper than expected fall from 1.7180. Yet as long as 1.5996 support holds, up trend from 1.4281 (2022 low) is still in favor to resume at a later stage. Firm break of 1.7180 will pave the way to 61.8% projection of 1.4281 to 1.7062 from 1.5996 at 1.7715.

In the longer term picture, price actions from 1.9799 (2020 high) are seen as a long term decline at the same scale as the rise from 1.1602 (2012 low). Rebound from 1.4281 is seen as the second leg. As long as 55 M EMA (now at 1.5999) holds, this second leg could still extend higher. However, sustained trading below 55 M EMA will open up the bearish case for extending the decline through 1.4281 low.

EUR/CHF Weekly Outlook

EUR/CHF's strong rebound last week suggest that pull back from 0.9579 has completed at 0.9305. Rise from there is now seen as the third leg of the pattern from 0.9209. Initial bias stays on the upside for 0.9579 resistance first. Firm break there will target 100% projection of 0.9209 to 0.9579 from 0.9305 at 0.9675. On the downside, below 0.9432 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.

In the bigger picture, medium term corrective pattern from 0.9407 (2022 low) might have completed with three waves to 0.9928. Decisive break of 0.9252 (2023 low) will confirm long term down trend resumption. Next target will be 61.8% projection of 1.1149 to 0.9407 from 0.9928 at 0.8851. For now, outlook will stay bearish as long as 0.9928 resistance holds, even in case of strong rebound.

In the long term picture, fall from 1.2004 (2018 high) is part of the multi-decade down trend. Firm break of 0.9928 resistance is needed to be the first sign of long term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.
